Gunman on the run from Menden remains at large
In a shocking turn of events, a fatal shooting took place in a residential area of Menden, North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) on Friday. Two men, a 45-year-old German man and a 49-year-old Turkish man, were shot following an argument at a construction site.
The German man tragically lost his life as a result of the shooting, while the Turkish man, initially in critical condition, is now reported to be out of danger. Witnesses have stated that the victims were construction workers on the site, although this has not been officially confirmed.
A 40-year-old suspect is wanted in connection with the shooting. The suspect, whose photo and full name have been released, is believed to have Serbian-Montenegrin citizenship. There is no clear indication of his whereabouts, and the police spokesman did not rule out the possibility that he might have fled towards Serbia.
It is reported that the suspect was at the construction site earlier. The role of the suspect in the incident is under investigation, as is the reason for his presence at the construction site.
A 40-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on Friday. She is from Bosnia-Herzegovina and is the wife of the suspect. However, her exact involvement and role remain unclear. The woman was later released from police custody, and there is currently no evidence linking her to the crime.
The woman drove away with the suspect after the shooting and later returned to the scene alone. The reason for her departure and return to the scene is still under investigation. Witnesses are currently being questioned as part of the investigation by the public prosecutor's office in Arnsberg.
The construction site at the house where the incident took place is also a part of the investigation. The public is urged to remain vigilant and to contact the police if they have any information that could help in the search for the suspect.
This incident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of maintaining peace and order in our communities. The authorities are working diligently to bring the perpetrator to justice and to provide support to the victims' families during this difficult time.
